Summary
This study aims to create a mindfulness program designed for couples where one partner has metastatic colorectal cancer. Researchers will interview patients, their partners, and clinicians to understand their needs and preferences for such a program. The goal is to design a program that can be tested in the future to reduce distress and improve quality of life for both partners.
